The hard drive can be quickly and easily installed. The pre-installed software, we have not been required.
We tested the drive with an average gamer PC. The gamer is my son, who has tested the transfer rate of the hard drive.
A game file from 7,3GB was transferred from the PC with USB 3.0 to the hard disk. It took just 2:20 minutes, and was therefore much faster than with the other hard drives of our budget. The fastest transfer rate was 90 MB / s.
The read speed is very fast; everything runs smoothly.
The only drawback of the hard drive is that it works very audible. However, it is not so loud that it interferes with my son. (Me yet, but I'm extremely sensitive to noise.)
Lots of storage and fast work we like this disk very well.
